Details: LaBelle "Nightbirds" LP RE (1974*, Epic Records). Heavier corner wear on sleeve. Ring wear on sleeve visible. Light wear on edges. Light wear on record, VG+, play-tested. Recorded At Sea-Saint Studios, New Orleans. Featuring Allen Toussaint (arranger/producer) and the studio house band, The Meters, as well as Arthur Neville on Organ. Executive producer Vicki Wickham (Ready, Steady, Go!, Dusty Springfield, and more). Lotta heavy hitters behind and all over this release--super-solid '70s soul/funk from the brilliant disco-soul-funk futurist band, LaBelle! 

Description: "The finest of Labelle's original albums, Nightbirds was recorded in New Orleans with funk-meister Allen Toussaint handling the production chores and, one assumes, members of the Meters taking care of the session work. Worth the price of admission for the Bob Crewe-written "Lady Marmalade" alone, the album veers between the strutting New Orleans, horn-laden singles and more mainstream pop material."--Rob Bowman, AllMusic
